Gotcha,--------------------

I think the only thing the government can do is make a big push to sell more to 
Asia and Europe, where the currencies are also strong.---------------------

On a personal level I should add to my list, take a trip to the US.  Some 
friends of our's are coming to visit us from Auckland in May this year.  The 
trip is considerably less costly than it was 1 1/2 years ago.  Enjoy it while 
you can.  Our trips to NZ, Oz and europe are now much more 
expensive.-------------Allan

Subject: RE: [sharechat] USD how low can it go.

Allan, that's a good list for Kiwi/Aussie investors (esp if you include 
<br>buying physical), however, my question to the board is "what can the 
<br>country/RBNZ/govt [whoever] do about the Kiwi$ inflation vis a vis the USD 
<br>decline"?<br><br>I'm thinking nothing, nada, zip. Others may have deeper 
insights.<br><br><br><br><br>>From: "Allan Potts"

Baa,<br>><br>>Kiwi's and Aussie's could:<br>><br>>1.  Sell the dollar 
short.<br>>2.  Buy gold and silver shares.<br>>3.  Buy commodity based stocks 
or resourse mutual funds.<br>>4.  Buy Sterling which has a way to go to catch 
up to the NZ/Au $s.<br>>5.  Buy the Yen which is severly undervalued and should 
have a very good <br>>pop when the Japanese throw in the towel.  (This

dollar)<br>><br>>In short doing the same things anyone should do if this dollar

being.<br>><br>>If others have more ideas, I'm always looking myself.  I've     
pulled the <br>>rip cord, but the chute hasen't opened yet and the ground  
looks
